Shavethewhales Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Interesting, almost sounds like a reaction to Silver Dollar City's Fireman's Landing... It's like a family ride area arms race. Flyers are always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 While it's not the 500ft launched Aquatrax all the fanboys wanted, it will be a great addition to the WOF family line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of the last time WoF got a family addition! (Besides 2015, 2012, 2011, 2010) HOLY SH**!!! I was starting to think that WoF relied a little to heavily on thrill rides (2014, 2009) so i'm glad they are bringing it back to families! YAY!!! I'm sure this announcement is in no way trying to avoid the cost of a new thrill ride! IT'S A WIN FOR EVERYBODY! YAY! #WOFISAWESOME #SDCISDEAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOFanatic Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 it could be a lot worse ^ Be happy I'll just say this: All-season refill bottles are the best addition of 2016 at WoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadster Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 They make a lot of money off of families and finishing out Planet Snoopy will yield a large return on investment for that next big thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerstark Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I think it's a good move. In comparison to a massive investment in a coaster, it provides a stream of ROI for the future. That combined with the fact that a large investment hasn't been made since Prowler, in 2009. Surely that means they have a significant amount of money saved up for something big in the future...possibly...maybe...right?? Also they may be putting something big off until 2018...45 years and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfoot12 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I think almost every Cedar Fair park's locals (with the exceptions of CP, KI, and Caro) will believe their park will be getting a coaster in 2017. Growing up with KD as my home park I'd love to see something new but I feel for the older non-Paramount parks like you guys, Valleyfair, and Dorney.

baileybrucem Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Honestly, this announcement made me smile. Worlds of Fun is at least getting something this year. It might not be an insane coaster or thrill ride, but there is hope. I'm glad we are getting something because part of me wondered if it would be another general maintenance year. I'm sure there will be a coaster on the way in the next 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up with KD as my home park I'd love to see something new but I feel for the older non-Paramount parks like you guys, Valleyfair, and Dorney. I've noticed this too... Personally, I DO think KD and CW are pretty much shoe-ins for a new coaster in 2017, and I think KI will be getting their dark ride/coaster that year. I see 2018 as the year smaller parks like MiA and WoF are likely to get a new coaster - if at all. I can't envision CF adding more than 2, or possibly 3 coasters to parks in their chain in any given year, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We believe we are getting a dark ride which seems to be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACES Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) I would say Valleyfair is next in line for a new coaster before Worlds of Fun get's one or maybe even Kings Island just got Banshee and Kings Island officials unveiled there new “Tropical Plunge" New slides will begin from a 65-foot platform expanding the water park in 2016 I wouldn't expect Kings Island to get a new coaster in a couple of year's. My bet Valleyfair will be next. Edited August 20, 2015 by ACES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
